The recession we were promised in 2023 never came. Perhaps we’ll get it in 2024, perhaps not. What we can be a little more certain of, assuming the inflation genie is back in the bottle, is that interest rates have very likely peaked and will end the year lower than they are now. That should stimulate the economy and in turn buoy stock markets. That’s already being factored into share prices, especially on Wall Street where many stocks trade at or near a record high.

Watch the bond market too, which will continue to grab headlines. We’re told bonds could be the best-performing asset class in 2024, with high yields and rising bond prices set to reward investors. Themes like artificial intelligence will run and run, but investors must also remain alert to new ideas and events with the potential to turbocharge returns.
